EMPYREAN

Empyrean was formed in late 1990 by Neil and Shaun. The concept behind EMPYREAN was to be more than just 'a band', in the normal sense, as in four or five competing individuals up on stage and, more or less accidentally, playing together. Instead EMPYREAN was to be what can only be described as a 'story', which wouldn surround both the members of the band and the music they created, forming a complete entity in its own right.

Originally, Neil and Shaun had intended EMPYREAN to be a five-piece project but, as can happen only too often in creative situations. In 1994 Neil left the band before they released the album. This was due to differences in musical opinion regarding the general direction of the band's future and he was replaced by Dave Raddon (ex-His Last Parade)
